Abstract

The invention relates to equipment for renewing the air of a plurality of rooms ( 1 ), comprising: a common single-flow airflow generator ( 2 ) arranged inside the rooms for extracting air from the rooms; a dual flow heat exchanger ( 3 ) arranged inside each room ( 1 ), comprising: an inlet opening ( 4 ) for the airflow ( 10 ) entering the room; an outlet opening ( 5 ) for the airflow ( 10 ) entering the room; an inlet opening ( 6 ) for the airflow ( 11 ) exiting the room; an outlet opening ( 7 ) for the airflow ( 11 ) exiting the room; a flow inlet inner duct ( 8 ) connecting the inlet ( 4 ) and outlet ( 5 ) openings for the airflow entering the room; a flow outlet inner duct ( 9 ) connecting the inlet ( 6 ) and outlet ( 7 ) openings for the airflow exiting the room; an exchange wall ( 12 ) having a first surface ( 13 ) defining a portion of said flow inlet inner duct ( 8 ) and a second surface ( 14 ) opposite the first defining a portion of the flow outlet inner duct ( 9 ); a plurality of individual ducts ( 15 ) for extracting air from the rooms, an individual extraction duct for a room connecting the flow generator to the outlet ( 7 ) of the heat exchanger ( 3 ) of the room for the airflow ( 11 ) exiting the room via a common air extraction collecting duct ( 20 ); an air inlet duct ( 16 ) in each room, individually allocated to each room, in which flows only the airflow ( 10 ) entering said room, and connecting the inlet opening ( 4 ) of the dual flow heat exchanger ( 3 ) of each room, for the airflow ( 10 ) entering the room ( 1 ), to the external environment ( 17 ).
